I would expect that the reason /tmp was chosen was the inability of some
systems to create sockets in NFS/AFS/SFS/Coda/whatever remote filesystem
that the suer might be using for $HOME. I suspect that this might still
be a problem. The ssh/openssh technique involves creating a directory
in $TMPDIR named ssh-$unique (with other refinements that I think do not
apply). Perhaps this would be a safer strategy?
